A colleague at a French Biz Schools here. It is an open secret that Alice Guilhon, SKEMA's Dean, is a very difficult colleague to deal with. Show some independence and you're out.

Beyond this idiosyncratic characteristic of SKEMA (not to be underestimated) plenty of information has been shared about French Biz Schools here.

Ce1e is right that research appreciation is reduced to counting CNRS stars (and a lot of s**t is been published), but it's discouraging to confirm that overseas it isn't much different (UK's obsession with ABS list and Australia obsession with ABDC list). Have the US escaped this silly way of evaluating research output?

If you don't care about a handful of thousand bucks more (which you'll end up paying in taxes anyway) it's better to go to public universities in France where intellectuals are.

How much do they pay for finance position they advertise?
Any info on the school or pay?
